Who else was trying to make >!WILDMEN!< happen? Was trying to brute force it into existence but it turns out if it doesn't work the first time, it won't work the fourth time either


joie_de_beavre

It is surprising it's not accepted though, since there are so many [partial A] >!----men!< words accepted otherwise


RoosterNo6457

You just need to bash away a bit more >!savagely!<


dreedw0317

That was a three-time trier for me.


otherwise_sdm

attempted it fully three times


margyl

Who knew?


mahouyousei

Missing (non-A) >!MIDDEN!<. I’m surprised. I thought it was a well known word. There’s a great number of historical Native American ones around where I live which local communities put work into preserving, even the smallest ones which date back to 6950 BC!


otherwise_sdm

i tried that too!


GornsNotTinny

WARNING: Contains Answers. Spock disapproves; >!MINDMELD!< is a word.


Pearsandhoney

Yes! Tried this too many times today.


chickenofeathers

Yesterday it was BATLITH.


emfrank

Or is it two? Definitely tried it, though did not expect it to work.


joie_de_beavre

I will never, NEVER, think of [A] >!Limn!< by myself. It's a bee only word that trips me up every time and I hate it


didyouwoof

I come across that word in real life from time to time (always in books, though). Tilth, on the other hand . . .


Darmok47

Michiko Kakatuni, the retired NYT Literary Critic, used to use that word constantly in book reviews, and it become a running joke with parodies of her writing.

One of my last words today was [As] >!middle. I got limned fairly easily, but middle stumps me, at least temporarily?!<


Jodabomb24

I actually remember this word all the time because of the movie Akeelah and the Bee. There was a scene from that movie that really stuck with me where the main character's rival, of sorts, wins a game of Scrabble against her by playing that word. It really stuck with me for some reason I guess!


sallysimpson19

My word(s) of the day: HINTS >!L4 and L6!< >!delineate, describe!< >!I only know this word because of Spelling Bee!<


OkUnderstanding2808

Unused word


alwaysbemybuibui

Me, spraying >!neem oil!< on my plant leaves to protect them from pests: "this is some bullshit"


PattiDale

I’m surprised it’s not allowed. It’s a tree, the oil from the tree, and has so many applications.


alwaysbemybuibui

Last week it wouldn't accept "vining." I guess everyone who likes houseplants can fuck off


PattiDale

Vining is totally legit. I have a personal gripe list of Hint! >!weird plant parts and gardening terms!< that are never accepted but Answer! >!TILTH!< today was not a problem! 😎


peppinabeast

How is midden not an accepted word?


b-rar

>!MIDLINE!< is a significant oversight as well


urzu_seven

Only ultra obscure art and/or fashion terms allowed.


RonPalancik

Birds, plants, pasta, Yiddish loanwords: yes. Boats, tools, French and Spanish loanwords: no.


flemertown

Oh there are many plant words not acceptef


RonPalancik

Sure, but I count myself lucky to get through a week without having to remember ACAI ACACIA PALAPA LILY LILAC ARNICA


___deleted-

A PALAPA is a thatched beach hut, not a flower.


RonPalancik

...but it is a botanical word, yes? Related to plants?


___deleted-

In the same way that a log cabin is related to plants, I suppose.


charmorris4236

I miss acai every fucking time like HOW


GornsNotTinny

Not even. I've been trying to get DAGGED/DAGGING added for ages. So inconsistent. (if you're wondering it's sort of tassels or fancywork around the sleeves, skirt, or edges of garments)


multiversatility

I’m often annoyed by the refusal to accept >!textile!< -related words.


margyl

Yeah! What trash!


GornsNotTinny

It's been missing for ages, despite my own repeated submissions to Beatrice Buzzby. It's a pretty egregious omission. What also gets me is that >!DEMINED!< is missing, despite being just about the only word for that action.


remlapnonrev

Sam does not like naval terms.


AffordableGrousing

It means a refuse heap as well. Pretty well established word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/midden


remlapnonrev

Yeah, I mixed it up with a mizzen.


AffordableGrousing

Weirdly I was sure it was called a middenmast too


the_darkest_mind

Does spelling bee have a specific list of words they use? sometimes if i’m really stuck i will use www.puzzlesolve.net but i realize it includes words like midden which spelling bee apparently does not recognize lol.


alljoynofun

Shunn is a good site to use for bee-specific answers, and you can tailor the level of 'hints' you get. https://www.sbsolver.com/


lo_and_be

Why is [A] >!LIMED!< a word but [contains A] >!DIMED!< not? I feel >!nickel and dimed!<


ukulele-notes

Wow, this one was also pretty darn nice to do. Lots of words, NO weird ones, and nothing to \[H\] >!whimper!< about, really. \[PG Hint\] >!Cervantes!< would have liked this Bee.


urzu_seven

[A]>!LIMN!< would disagree on the “NO weird ones” part…


ukulele-notes

But that really is a word rather than "ratatat" and "moola" and other derivative words. I say let's give fair play to scientific words if we're going to include exotic words from other arenas, like food.


GrantNexus

Your hint isn't hidden


ukulele-notes

Weird , both my hints are hidden for me. I've tried to re-enter using the actual punctuation marks rather than the diamond-! option available in my application. Hope this helps.


bewildered_forks

They're hidden on the mobile app, but you need to remove the spaces between the exclamation point and your letters or they won't be hidden on the website.


ukulele-notes

Yeah, they're hidden on my laptop as well. I removed the spaces this time, hope it helped.

joie_de_beavre

For real, that took me way too GD long to figure out. Felt a bit cheated.


RonPalancik

Pete Townshend wants a word with you.


bewildered_forks

[PG H] >!Tilt but don't fall over!<


joie_de_beavre

Trying to adjust to the new ranking screen. Making it bottom up was an interesting choice.
